Oxalis tuberosa.....

I moved to the United States over twenty years ago.

At first, it was not forever.

It was a temporary excursion, for study.

Well, you know how the story goes, 

girl meets boy........

Maybe it still won't be forever.

Only time will tell, I guess.

Now don't get me all wrong.....I love living here.

But, there are just some things that are a part of me.

Things that just aren't here.

Things that I can only find at home.

Or so I thought......

Meet Oxclis tuberosa

also known as the New Zealand Yam.

I found them......

I planted them......

and I am hoping like crazy that in four months,

I will be enjoying them.

And just so you know,

I won't share.

I have 20 years of yam eating to do.

Well, I will share with the boy,

since he scouted them out

for his kiwi girl.
